I think i would have built the stand thinner than 2by4 construction... The tank will have very little weight to be supported per sq inch of stand. The 2by 4 construction threatens to overwhelm the attractiveness of the tank.

You all say I need a screws, why? I've made stands with this almost exact same build for more water weight with nails. There won't even be any weight on the nails unless you push it so the nails have to keep the legs in place, I think I'm fine with nails unless there is something I don't know?

You could always glue then nail... It would be solid as a rock... (so to speak)
